Visible Expression

The ecclesial community, while always having a universal dimension, finds its most immediate and visible expression in the parish. It is there that the Church is seen locally. In a certain sense it is...

"... the Church living in the midst of the homes of her sons and daughters..."

Pope John Paul II

Solemnity of All Saints

"...Your reward will be great in heaven..."

The saints forever praise God's glory in heaven. In their lives on earth they lived out the beatitudes preached by Jesus in His Sermons on the Mount and that is why they are so happy now. We too need to model our lives on them so that where they are we may one day be. We, like they, will see God face to face.
